Sheffield shield 2012/13 thread

2 draws and we get to host the final, 1 draw/1 win and we travel.

2 wins, we come third.

Right?

How did NSW end up on an odd number of points? There's been no tie , did we have a point deducted for something ?

Got docked 2 or 3 points against Victoria in Sydney for slow over rate, got reduced to one point on appeal. MIght cost us a final (we have the best quationt. Unfortunately both matches will be aiming for wins today, no side will be blocking it out. Hopefully some weather intervenes

Joe Burns on 73 after a ton last match, good timing to get into some form.

Cheers.

Yeah the tas/vic is our best chance for a draw. There are some isolated showers forecast down there.

Will be very interesting to see the total Tasmania give for Victoria to chase. I expect it will be n the lower end.

Tasmania are 2/250 at present and smacking the ball around, Silk just scored a ton in his second f/c match (May remember him from KoK commentating in the Hobart test). Another NSW player who moved away for opportunities. Punter on 63/76 balls

Great having another young batsmen making his mark. Looks pretty good from what I can see, uses his feet so the spin thing is a check.

You have to have played for NSW to be a bluebagger ;-)

but he is a New South Welshman.

Pretty sure he's an Penrith boy as well?

Cant see Vic winning this.

They're 336 behind with 2 sessions to go.

Tasmania victory or a draw for mine.

Vic in trouble against Tas , 4/120 needing another 214 from a session and a bit.

Qld giving WA a real tricky total to chase , leading by 272 with about 2 sessions to go.

 

[herbert henry1908]

Victoria have shut up shop. Run rate has slowed dramatically.

5/162 in the last session.

If they can hold out for a draw the blues will make the final.

And Victoria are an outside chance of the final ( if they draw)if the WA/QLD game is a draw.

 

[aussies1st]

Dam Victoria they better hold out.

 

[aussies1st]

Stupid Victorians. Cmon WA draw it out now.

 

[herbert henry1908]

There cant be long left in tassie
